UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our family is half French and half Australian, sustainable agriculture is our goal. Exiting times of a relatively young business (10yo) mixed with the magic of making wines! Our surroundings are not only beautiful but filled with history with sites dated 2000yo and more...
Help
The tasks are various in a place where farming meets winemaking. Every volunteer is considered as part of the family and involved in as many task as they wish. Vineyard and winery work prevail but other day to day tasks at the farm may occur. (cooking, cleaning, fixing stuff!)
Can accommodate one Workawayer or a couple.
MAY TASKS: Will be looking to welcome one workawayer or a couple to help in he vineyard. Mostly for weeding our baby vines planted last year.
